Fortnite challenge guide: Place alien light communication device on mountaintops

Joseph Yaden
By

Fortnite season 7, week 3 is underway with an all-new set of challenges for you to complete. Typically, the challenges are straightforward, with objectives that require you to get a certain number of kills with various weapons or open chests in specific areas. This week’s list is composed entirely of challenges that send you to unmarked locations around the map to collect items or talk with NPCs. One in particular is for placing alien light communication devices on mountaintops.

As expected, these alien light communication devices aren’t marked on the map, making it tricky to actually know where to go. Fortunately, we’ve got all the information you’ll need to complete this challenge. Here’s how to place alien light communication devices on mountaintops in Fortnite.

It’s best to take a look at the map above (thanks, Fortnite.gg) for all the locations needed to complete this challenge. Luckily, you only need to place two alien light communication devices out of the four. These are found atop the snowy mountains in the southeastern portion of the map, close to Misty Meadows and Catty Corner. The spots where these devices can be placed are fixed, meaning you won’t have to wander around to find them.

We advise attempting this challenge in Team Rumble so you can respawn if you get eliminated. We also highly suggest going for this challenge at the start of a match since the storm will quickly overtake the spots you need to visit. Get this out of the way quickly so you don’t miss your chance. When you approach the correct area, simply interact with the translucent devices indicating one can be placed. Below are the specific locations where each alien light communication device can be placed.

You can visit whichever you’d like in any order, but for the purposes of simplicity, we’ll go from east to west. First, visit the large snowy mountaintop to the east of Catty Corner.

After that, head southwest to the next large mountaintop, this time to the south of Catty Corner.

The next one is on the smaller mountain to the west of the previous, south of Misty Meadows. This is found across the river from the previous location.

The final mountain is to the west, south of Misty Meadows once again. The spot is right next to a log cabin.

After you’ve placed an alien light communication device at two of the four areas, you’ll complete the challenge.

All Charms and Trinkets in Lego Fortnite
A lego character holding a basket with a fruit.

Most things in Lego Fortnite are grounded in reality -- well, as much as they can be in a game where you are a little Lego man running around collecting resources and building entire villages by yourself. You slowly accumulate better gear as you craft new items and upgrade your existing facilities so you can venture further out and face tougher challenges.

There's some equipment that works a bit differently, namely your Trinkets and Charms. These little doodads can be crafted as you collect specific resources, they come in a range of rarities, and all of them give your character a specific buff that can be placed on your armor to add to your character. There's a lot of them out there to find and craft, so we've cataloged all the Charms and Trinkets in Lego Fortnite and what they do.

How to get Obsidian in Lego Fortnite

Obsidian is almost as rare a resource in Lego Fortnite as it is in real life. This black, razor-sharp material can only be found in the most dangerous environments. That means knowing where to find it is only part of the trouble. The real test will be in preparing yourself to survive the trip. You'll also need the tools necessary to collect it. If you're ready to face the heat, here's how to get Obsidian in Lego Fortnite.
Where to find Obsidian

Obsidian is an ore, so if your first instinct was to look for Obsidian inside of caves, then you're on the right track. Unlike something like Marble, however, Obsidian isn't as common or in as easy to reach places. Obsidian will be found deep into caves near lava, but only caves found in a desert biome will have lava inside.
